What to do if tone doesn’t change or keyboard not switching to split or layer on Roland RD-700?
If [MIDI TX] is set to ON, the external sound generator is controlled. To change the RD-700’s Tones and make settings in Keyboard mode, set [MIDI TX] to OFF. Also, check if the PART SELECT button for the Part containing the Tone you want to change is set to ON. Finally, ensure that [NUM LOCK] is off, as Tone categories cannot be selected with the TONE SELECT buttons when [NUM LOCK] is on.

First, check that the connected amps and speakers are powered on and the volume isn't turned down. Also, verify that the VOLUME slider isn't all the way down. Ensure all connections are properly made, using audio cables or headphones if it's a stand-alone instrument.

In some cases where the delay timing selected in the DELAY settings is set to a note value, the delay sound may not be heard. Either adjust the tempo or change the numerical value of the delay timing. Also, check the MFX Source and MFX Dest settings for multi-effect that is not sounding in the Lower Part to which it is applied, as with certain settings, the Lower Part’s MFX settings are disregarded.

Why are tones altered on my Roland Musical Instrument?
If you called up a Setup, the current Tone, effect, and other settings are disabled, and the selected Setup takes effect. You may need to resave required settings to a Setup. Also, pressing ONE TOUCH [PIANO] disables current settings and applies piano performance settings, so resave settings if needed. Finally, check if the Tone Control function is assigned to the [CONTROL] knob.
